Those are not your scans. Watch out for the sega old timer.

The wall breaking is the highlight of the scans above. I love the sound that goes with it.

I love that sound to... I remember the first time I went through a wall in Sonic 1.... it was magical.

Saw these posted on the SEGA boards.  Nintendo Power scans, lot's of juicy new images... but they are huge scans, so I will just link to them

The game looks beautiful.

If you take Iizuka's stupid statement over the homing attack (and its inclusion) the game looks quite nice actually. It's getting me more interested but I'm certain if I ever get this I will be buying it on a physical format.

The game looks beautiful.

Agreed.  The game was starting to look bland to me, but these new screens give off some hope  They have personality in them, not just bland flash esque graphics.

The giant sweat drops, Jun Senoue and THIS:

Make me really really excited for the game.

Same boss as Sonic 1? I don't think so!

Fantastic to hear that about the bosses attack in a different manner, although I would rather them just design new machines in that case. But I guess they aren't confident in the fan reaction.

I liked what I saw in those screenshots except the speed boosters, certainly some more moments of platforming there, hoping we get to see a trailer of it soon though. I want to breakdown the first level!

No more gimmicks. No more friends. No more rings. No more badniks. No more rolling. No more music. No more new content. Sonic the Hedgehog 4.

[Aki-at]

No More Heroes?

I'd love to see Kogen go one week without posting a useless smarmy comment.

Anywho, game is looking better than previous leaks. I still can't wrap my head around why so many are freaking out over Eggman not being called Robotnik. Do they also want the planet to be Mobius and Amy Rose to be Princess Sally (per the Sonic CD manual)?

You are basically telling Kogen not to post.

Robotnik just sounds so much cooler.

But certainly looks better now, though need to see it in motion before I can give a firm opinion. So far have relatively little of the game. I wonder though if there are more than just four stages and if so, will they be Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles inspired levels, although that's almost certain.

If they are, then I suppose Episode 2 will be original content, if that it is just four levels, I think we can guess that Episode 2 will be redressed older Sonic levels.
